6Buddy's Boogie - Buddy Guy

7I Wonder Why - Otis Rush

8Backstroke - Albert Collins

9Funk-Shun - Albert King

I'm in my garden (late evening) watching the sun going down above the trees, enjoying the light breeze in the air while this gem is playing quietly around me. That guitar sounds even more incredible right now than it does any other time I've listened to it. It's beautiful.

While I have a slight bias in favor of Jimi's original, this is some of the best jazz-blues riffin' you'll ever hear, bar none. Damn mountain.
